Exmormons and Mormons who experienced the LDS Church from the 1960's through the 1990's may thoroughly relate to this video while those who came of age in Mormonism from the later 1990's to present may be unaware of the subtle (insider) and not so subtle humor and parody rolling out of this video "as stone cut out of the mountain without hands."
The images below appear in the video at a fast clip from one to two or three seconds in duration such that the viewer may not capture all of their detail and meaning. You may enjoy the video more if you take your time to preview these scenes prior to playing the video. Another option is to "pause" the video at the scene to view the entire image.
